At years-old, Nina Meurisse is creating the buzz. Quite normal since the career of this truly lovely actress is very surprising. Propelled at years-old to the leading part of a very successful film … Before launching out in the cinema.
Her credo? An American working style , studying in turn the harp , singing and piano , classic dancing then theater. Obviously perseverance pays off! Encounter with the future bankable actress of the French cinema Truly by happenstance.
When I was years-old, the scouting team from the film Saint Cyr was looking for extras and organized a huge casting in Normandy where all the little girls participated, dreaming of their first role… Except me.
I did not want to participate but friends of my parents insisted and signed me up without asking my advice. And after several try-outs, I found myself in the leading part with Isabelle Huppert. After this experience, my parents really wanted me to go back to school, rather than my becoming a little actress. Funnily enough I followed a reverse path… Beginning in the cinema in a very instinctive way before working on very classic texts by Racine or Chekhov.
The life of an actress is a long-distance race. I like the American style that is very work oriented and has a reassuring side, where you can cumulate, dancing, comedy, singing, TV — if you do it well. Obviously this requires work, but the more you work, the more you have a chance of succeeding. Globally, I find this ridiculous. I am deeply convinced that only work pays off. At least I hope so…. An incredible adventure.
